Safe, secure and always on

Committed to innovation and development. Committed to protect your data. Committed to delivering a state of the art technological foundation which will scale and grow as needed… Google, for us, was the obvious solution that gave it all.

Google Cloud is built on the same infrastructure that allows Google to return billions of search results in milliseconds, serve 6 billion hours of YouTube video per month and provide storage for 425 million Gmail users.

Safe, secure, and managed:

All Kitchen CUT accounts use SSL-encrypted connections by default—the same level of security used by online banks. You never send or receive sensitive information in plain-text. Additionally, industry-standard physical and remote security is administered at datacenter facilities.

How we stay reliable:

Kitchen CUT utilises Google’s innovative data centers and worldwide fiber network to deliver a fast and efficient service. Here are a few things we do to ensure we stay available for you whenever you need to access your information.

Network connectivity is provided by multiple top carriers.

All data is protected by hardware RAID over multiple data storage units.

Critical servers have redundant power supplies.

Critical components are deployed in (at least) redundant pairs.

Our Data Retention policy:

We take our role as custodian of your data extremely seriously. We have multiple backup systems in place to protect your data, governed by the policies shown here.

All backups are replicated to at least 2 physical datacenters.

All backup systems are tested biweekly.

Backups occur at the end of each day.

Database backups are retained for 5 weeks in 2 locations, and a further 40 days in 1 location.

Application logs are retained for 45 days.

Data Encryption:

Our Cloud Platform services automatically encrypt data before it is written to disk. As an example, all data and metadata is encrypted under the 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard, and each encryption key is itself encrypted with a regularly rotated set of master keys. The same encryption and key management policies used for our data is also used by many of Google’s production services, including Google Docs, Gmail, and Google’s own corporate data.

Compliance & Security

All data written to persistent disk in Compute Engine is encrypted on the fly and then transmitted and stored in encrypted form. Google Compute Engine has completed ISO 27001, SSAE-16, SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3 certifications.
